Rotary Club of Mount Lawley

planting trees last weekend













ROTARY Club of Pinjarra members planted about 
700 native trees and shrub seedlings in a degraded section
 of bushland in Pinjarra.
The bushland reserve on Moores Road had previously 
been used as a motocross track and was quite degraded.
Rotary Club members hope to restore
the area to its former condition.

Seedlings for the project were donated by the club
 and the Shire of Murray provided the tree guards.

Rotary Club of Scarborough



On Sunday 13th August a small group of Rotarians and partners
 met for breakfast to witness the presentation of Paul Harris Fellows
 to Tookta and Alan Bennett.
 Alan was a charter member of Scarborough Beach Rotary some 33 years ago.
 When Scarborough Beach handed back their charter eight years ago 
\Alan joined the Rotary Club of Scarborough.
 Alan was active in many varied roles in Scarborough Beach Rotary
 culminating in being President in 2004-05
 and continues to be active in Scarborough Rotary. 
Since joining our Club he has been a Director for four year
s and has been SwapMart coordinator since July 2016
. The reason we are here today is to recognise both Alan and Tookta
 for the amazing work they do with their Christmas lights.
 Whilst the event was started by young neighbours, a brother and sister,
 it has been Tookta with Alan’s support that has really driven the initiative.
 The whole street (bar one house) is now involved.
 The street takes great pride in putting up Christmas lights
 and the sight is quite spectacular. 
Each year it gets better and better, and to see the joy the displays bring,
 not just to the children, but whole families, reinforces just what Christmas should be about. 
Whilst both Alan and Tookta are involved, Tookta has the ideas,
 plans and organises the display and each year goes
 off to get more bits and pieces to make the display even better
 than the previous year. 
Alan and Tooka regularly climb on the roof of their three story home
 to put up lights, although Alan insists Tookta wears a harness.
 Last Christmas they added another dimension by having a
 Wheelchair from Wheelchairs for Kids on display
 and people living in the street took turns to rattle the tin.
 All this effort resulted in $14,200 being raised. 
The above mentioned brother and sister presented a cheque to WFK
 at the workshop during a breakfast meeting. 
Mention should be made that children were given sweets if they donated.
 This expense was borne by Tookta who would not accept reimbursement. 
Finally, Tookta and Alan we thank you for making Christmas special
 for so many.
 In recognition of your efforts last years Board decided to award a 
Paul Harris Fellowship to each of you.

ed....received this email message last week
so am sharing with you

On Saturday 19th. August I attended a wonderful seminar.
It was the 47th.Rotary in W.A Ladies Seminar.
After entering the beautiful venue and being greeted
 by cheerful reception staff,
 we were able to peruse and buy quality arts and craft of W.A
.and then after a light refuelling we went into a beautifully set up, 
decorated and welcoming seminar theatre.
From the M.C.,guest speakers, raffle ticket sellers, catering staff,
 food makers and clothes models a smooth operation held us all 
enthralled, enlightened, energised and excited.
 The prize list was amazing and generous. 
The recipient of the raffle money is Shelter Box a passion of this years organiser. 
This enjoyable seminar was relaxed and engaging.
It had been resurrected and rejuvenated by a small group of women 
led by June Wade past president of South Perth Burswood Rotary Club 
after a 2 year hiatus.
June bought it all together in a professional manner
 with her small group of helpers and they all deserve
 the accolades of a 350 happy people.

Tree planting team from last weekend



Tonight's guest speaker was full of surprises.
He owned a large successful business in Perth
 and retired under 40 to live the dream in Kununurra.
 When a falling boab tree crashed through 
Past President Ian Creed and wife Carole's dream life,
 the Rotary Club of Kununurra gave them massive support.
 Then after they moved to Geraldton,
 Ian was eventually persuaded by Past President Shaun McKeating
 to join RCOG. Great move
 and a great story thank you Ian!
